“We know that when we cut carbon pollution, we have to cut inequality too,” said Eleanor Fort, senior campaign manager with Green For All, one of the organizations leading the charge. “The question is: How are states going to do that as they design the details of the program?”

Today, Green For All along with seven racial, economic, environmental, and transit justice organizations submitted a letter to the 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states that are developing a regional carbon emissions reduction program for transportation as part of the Transportation and Climate Initiative.

U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris (D-CA) introduced the Clean School Bus Act -- the most money EVER proposed for bus electrification. Green For All is proud to support this legislation, which would help schools serving low-income neighborhoods make the down payment to transition from dirty diesel buses to zero-emission electric buses, and give kids a clean, safe ride to school.

Green For All National Director Michelle Romero spoke on "The Role of Carbon Pricing in a Just Transition" webinar hosted by ClimateXChange.
